© 2020, Abdullah Kuzu. All rights reserved.The main purpose of this study is to understand the satisfaction level of students to teach the basics of programming in 3D virtual worlds and investigate the factors affecting their satisfaction. Multiple case study with three cases were conducted in three different educational programs: as curricular (Case-1), extra-curricular (Case-2) and after-school (Case-3). Satisfaction scale adopted from previous study was used to understand current level of satisfaction and semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants to reveal factors affecting satisfaction. Descriptive analysis of quantitative data showed that that the most satisfied students were those from Case-1 (M = 4.35), Case-3 (M = 4.28) and Case-2 (M = 3.99), respectively. Single case analysis of qualitative data revealed the factors increasing and decreasing satisfaction of the students. Apart from the story about the tasks, group study, object construction, having tasks, off-task activities, 3D environment and tour in the environment emerged as an increasing factor across all three cases at different ratios. Technical problems, studying alone, difficulty of the tasks, and avatar-related problems were the factors stated by some of the students across all cases as decreasing factors. Cross-case analysis provided a table which shows the similarities and differences among the cases.

Aerospace structure design using structural response of a payload carried by jet fighter Jet uçagi ile taşinan bir faydali yükün yapisal cevabinin havacilik yapilari tasariminda kullanimi Kaplan, Engin Metin; Acar, Erdem; Özer, Mehmet Bülent (2022-01-01) © 2022 Gazi Universitesi Muhendislik-Mimarlik. All rights reserved.Structural optimization of equipment mounted to payload carried externally by jet type fighter are performed by using the loads: artificial neural network (ANN) prediction, experimental and military specification. The main scope of this study is to evaluate the structural response limits proposed by military specifications with real test conditions and also compare the effects of usage ANN predicted and military specification loads in design...
Frame finite element model for nonlinear and vibration analysis of steel structures with Beam-Column and Column-Base Semi-Rigid Connections Kiriş-Kolon ve Kolon-Taban Yari-Rijit baǧlantili çelik yapilarin doǧrusal olmayan ve titreşim analizleri için çerçeve sonlu elemani modeli Özel, Halil Firat; Sarıtaş, Afşin (2022-01-01) © 2022 Gazi Universitesi Muhendislik-Mimarlik. All rights reserved.In this paper, a shear deformable force-based frame finite element with semi-rigid connections is derived for nonlinear analysis of steel structures. Distributed plasticity approach is defined along element length and section depth, and linear or non-linear semi-rigid connection behavior can be specified anywhere along elements without the necessity to define additional nodes and to increase the degrees of freedom of the structural system.
